DO YOU REMEMBER............pt3

Do you remember a time when decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"? Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "Do Over!"? "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest? Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening?

Do you remember when places like restaurants advertised "AIR-CONDITIONING" because they were the only ones that had it?

Do you remember going to bed at night without locking the doors, and in the summertime leaving the doors and windows open and smelling that sweet fresh night air while you slept?

Did you ever make forts or playhouses using some old blankets or sheets draped over the clothes line?

Remember making mud pies and sitting them in the sun to "bake"?

Remember picking up pop and beer bottles along side the road for penny candy money?

It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"? The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was "cooties"? Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot?

A foot of snow was a dream come true? Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures? "Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense?  Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team? War was a card game?  Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle? Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin? Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!!
